I was waiting for pagerank update since last many months for improvment in PR of my blog and my other sites. I was expecting that my blog PR will become equal to some big blogs or atleast the difference between us will reduce. Although I have not get any increment in my PR, but I noticed that many big blogs have lost their PR, and now I am happy that PR of my blog is equal to many high profile blogs. Today I read this article at Dailyblogtips.com blog that many high profile blogs have lost their PR. Previously whose PR was 6 or 7 now their PR are 3 or 4.

Many people believes that this is Google penalty for selling links on their blog. Few months ago Matt Cutts also wrote in his blog that Google is modifying his algorithm to devalute paid links, it appears this PR penalty is in continuation of that.

I think it will affect many bloggers whose major revenue source is their blog, because link cost is directly proportional to PR, another thing which I am expecting is that now the cost of link will increased for high PR sites as there will be less high PR sites and also webmaster will avoid selling links in their sites in fear of google penalty.
